Flood crisis prevention – Act now!

2024-10-09

Century floods every three years – how up to date is your emergency plan?

Concerned citizens and local politicians are asking how well their communities are prepared. The events of recent years have shown that existing emergency plans are often outdated or incomplete.

What data is available to the responsible authorities, and how up to date is it? Major disasters require complex coordination between different organizations, and it is not uncommon for data to be incomplete or isolated in individual specialist applications or information portals. The use of municipal data platforms can provide better insights and enable recommendations for action to be derived for an updated emergency plan. [ui!] has intensively examined the challenges facing municipalities and identified the need to network different information sources and specialist applications. In addition, [ui!]'s nationwide data corpus ideally supplements the information available from third parties. That is why we are offering you our new, smart complete package “Municipal Situation Report – Flood Prevention.”

Our expertise and experience

For ten years, [ui!] UrbanPulse, the longest-standing municipal data platform on the market, has been enabling municipalities to collect relevant data on their municipal data platforms in order to gain the necessary insights into key areas of action for smart cities and smart regions and thus derive recommendations for action. We started with necessary insights into the municipal traffic situation and the sustainable use of electric mobility, followed by other municipal infrastructures such as street lighting, pedestrian traffic counting, and water management. Among the insights gained is the realization that municipalities have to invest a lot of time and energy in procuring relevant data, and even then, implementation can still fail. We have therefore expanded our solution portfolio to include complete packages for selected use cases.

Fast. Efficient. Data-driven.

No more scattered information—now everything is in one place!

🌦️ The [ui!] complete package – flood crisis prevention offers your municipality a central platform that cross-references all relevant historical data from different sources, intelligently consolidates it, analyzes it, and makes it available as a basis for further recommendations for action. This allows you to gain new insights from past flood events and optimize your municipal alarm and response plans. The complete package contains preconfigured data sources for weather data, water levels, and traffic data, enabling rapid provision. An important component of the complete package is [ui!] DATALAB, which allows you to create predefined analyses and thus gain valuable insights and concrete recommendations for action to optimize your alert plan. To convey this information clearly to your citizens, the complete package also includes [ui!] COCKPIT.

The result: more insights, more knowledge – for your municipalities

What is our approach?

Many of you are familiar with the challenge: during complex events and crises, data is often scattered across different departments, decisions are delayed, and valuable time is lost. This is exactly where we come in. Our complete package offers a central platform that intelligently consolidates and analyzes all relevant data from different infrastructures and sources. This enables immediate, well-founded, integrated recommendations for action. Unlike single solutions, our solution gives you a holistic overview that helps you act quickly and efficiently.

The added value for municipalities lies in generating relevant “information” from the available data in order to gain insights from which recommendations for action can be derived. This creates the necessary “knowledge” to be better prepared for complex events in the future.

What does this mean for your municipality in concrete terms?

The real added value for municipalities lies in generating information relevant to stakeholders and the population from the data we provide. Our platform enables you to gain valuable insights that lead directly to concrete recommendations for action. This newly acquired knowledge prepares you optimally for future events, enabling you to act faster, more efficiently, and with greater confidence. The central bundling and intelligent analysis of data create the basis for sustainable and data-driven crisis management.
